6.4 Verify Print Server’s IP Address
To verify that your print server is responding to the newly assigned IP address using a PING command:
ping ip-address
6.5 Configure Remote LPD Printing on the Host
The procedure you use to configure your UNIX host(s) to allow printing to your network remote print server
varies between different varieties of UNIX. The procedures below can be used for UNIX variants that are
related to BSD UNIX, such as SunOS or Linux. For other versions of UNIX, consult your system
documentation, keeping in mind that:
1. The print server should be treated as a BSD networked print server host.
2. The host name should be the name (or IP address) that you have assigned to the print server.
3. The printer name (or queue name) on the remote host should be p1, p2, or p3, the name of the printer
port on the print server.
You will need to perform the tasks below, logged in as the superuser (root) to configure your UNIX host for
printing.
1. Optionally, assign a name corresponding to the print server’s IP address. You can add this address to the
/etc/hosts file, by adding a line such as:
203.66.191.186 pserver
2. Create a spool directory for the printer in the same directory where spool directories are normally kept on
the machine, such as /var/spool or /var/spool/lpd:
mkdir /var/spool/lpd/pserverd
chown daemon /var/spool/lpd/pserverd
chgrp daemon /var/spool/lpd/pserverd
chmod 775 / var/spool/lpd/pserverd
